Public Law (Judicial Review)

"Garden Court North is a pre-eminent set that has members who specialise in many areas of public law, including prison law, immigration, housing and inquests. The set fields a strong team of silks and juniors who have been involved in several high-profile and landmark cases."

Chambers has long recognised that public law challenges are a key method of upholding and furthering the rights of the citizen against the State.

Administrative law remedies inform all areas of Chambers' practice and members of Chambers are alive to the possibilities for challenge to administrative decision-making, particularly in light of the Human Rights Act 1998.

Members of Chambers regularly provide training to other legal professionals in judicial review practice and procedure (including regular updates) and all areas engaging the exercise of public law functions.

Chambers has a commitment to the Community Legal Service and therefore places emphasis on providing representation to individuals and community groups who may be affected adversely by poor quality administrative decision-making.

Garden Court North have been annual sponsors of the Public Law Project "JR North" conference in Mancheseter since 2007.
